Today marks seventeen years since I first set off on the road, leaving behind a conventional life in Silicon Valley for a life of adventure and exploration. It’s hard to believe that it has been that long, and that I have seen and done so much in these years. But this past year has been […]
Turning 50 & Running the Space Coast Marathon
As I realized my fifties were getting nearer, a thought occasionally crossed my mind – was it possible that I could turn 50 and be in the best physical shape of my life? That theoretically was not too much of a stretch. I had always been way more of a geek than an athlete, and […]
16th Nomadiversary: Celebrating Sweet Sixteen!
What is it with the passage of time? It seems like it was forever ago that we first got vaccinated, as chronicled in my 15th Nomadiversary post last year. But really, it was just over a year ago. Last year – I was noting that we had spent just four nights outside of Florida in […]
15th Nomadiversary: Nomadic Inspirations, and Getting 5G Shots
The photo above is the sun setting over the Ogeechee River in Georgia – one of the very few recent photos in my album taken outside of Florida. In the past year we spent a total of just four nights outside of our “home” state. At what point do I forfeit my nomad license? Last […]
Top 10 Pandemic Binges – Our Recent TV Streaming Recommendations
The past year has been weird. One of the ways we have coped with the craziness and the lockdowns and the isolation of the pandemic era has been by losing ourselves inside great TV shows. Without many social engagements, we wind down almost every evening with a bit of binging before bed. We have always […]
Celebrating Ten Years of ‘Coverage?’ in the App Store – 3G, 4G, 5G!
Ten years ago today we launched our second app – ‘Coverage?‘. Ten years in the App Store. Wow! ‘Coverage?’ was launched way back in the era of 3G and sparse coverage maps that were more dead zone than not in many parts of the country. Having the ability to carry your own personalized coverage maps […]
Time For New eBikes for our Bus, Van and Boat Life (Farewell e-Joe Epik SE)
Five years ago we were on the hunt for our first folding electric bikes, and we had a very particular requirement – the bikes needed to fold up small enough to store in the front luggage bay on our bus. There was just no place to store full-size bikes with the way the bus and […]
Winnebago 2016 Travato 59G Design Flaws – Time For a New Van?
It’s now been 16 months since we purchased our van Coopernicus – a 2016 Winnebago Travato G. Over that timeframe, the van has been our daily driver, our get-away adventure vehicle, our shuttle craft and our hurricane escape pod. We’ve taken Cooper on a long extended cross country trip (all the way to Arizona!), and on […]
14th Nomadiversary: A Nomad in a Locked-Down World
Fourteen years ago today, I began my life as a full-time Technomad. At the time I first set off – I was imagining RVing all around the country, exploring Alaska, paramotoring in Baja, backpacking internationally, and contemplating maybe eventually living on a boat. My imagination was overflowing with dreams of all the potential adventures lying […]
Watching The RVers’ TV Show as an RVer: No Cable? No Satellite? – No Problem!
In case you haven’t heard – we are co-hosts of the upcoming TV series ‘The RVers‘, premiering on Discovery Channel on November 17th at 8AM eastern. We are going to be on TV! But… we’ve been full time travelers for over 13 years now, and “cord cutters” even before then. Just what IS this TV thing?! […]
